In her book “The Dialogue,” Catherine of Siena In her book “The Dialogue,” Catherine of Siena offers a message for restless hearts: “Without [God] they could never be satisfied even if they possessed the whole world. For created things are less than the human person. They were made for you, not you for them, and so they can never satisfy you.” In Psalm 17, David points to what actually can satisfy us: “I shall be satisfied,” he avows, “when I awake, with thy likeness.” But is this peace reserved for the next age, or can we experience it in this? In Charlotte Mason’s poem “Satisfied,” she shows us how “unquiet heart enters green place of peace where none molest.” There, in the words of Catherine’s Dialogue, “they … feel [God] in their souls by grace and are satisfied.” Read or hear Mason’s poem at the profile link. @artmiddlekauff . . . . . . . . . #charlottemasonpoetry #saviouroftheworld #catherineofsiena #stcatherineofsiena #thedialogue #psalms #homeschoolpodcast #charlottemasonirl #charlottemasonliving #charlottemasonpodcast #discipleship #thedisciple #charlottemason #lifeofJesus #johnwinthropandrews 🖼️: Oil Painting by John Winthrop Andrews
“But it is enough for our purpose to prove that “But it is enough for our purpose to prove that the rain need do no harm; for abundant daily exercise in the fresh air is of such vital importance to the children, that really nothing but sickness should keep them within doors. A mere time and distance tramp is sufficiently joyous for a wet day, for, taken good-humouredly, the beating rain itself is exhilarating.” (Vol. 1 p. 88) @tessakeath
Well, 15 days after we first saw our monarch chrys Well, 15 days after we first saw our monarch chrysalis, it thinned out enough for us to see the orange and black of the wings hidden inside. A bunch of us kept an eye on it throughout the afternoon and well into the evening, hoping to catch a glimpse of its emergence. We watched until after the sun went down. (It was a lovely evening to sit and chat while keeping one eye on the dark chrysalis.) Google told us that it would probably eclose mid-morning. So a handful of us went to check on it first thing, but at 7:10am, we found our monarch already emerged! It stayed there, drying its wings, for at least an hour, possibly more. (Swipe to see the butterfly with its chrysalis shell.) Though we missed the actual moment, we were thrilled our monarch made it! 📷: @angellemeg @antonella.f.greco . . . . . . . . . #monarchchrysalis #monarchbutterflies #monarchbutterfly #milkweed #monarchs #naturestudywithchildren #eyesandnoeyes #charlottemasonpoetry #savethemonarchs #milkweedformonarchs #1000hoursoutside #charlottemasonirl #childhoodunplugged #godinnature
I always thought that “Ourselves” was such a q I always thought that “Ourselves” was such a quaint title. As a book intended for young people to learn about how to understand and manage oneself, I could think of more fitting titles. How about “The Nature of a Person” or “Self-Management”? Or “You as a Person”? Or even, “Yourself.” As I read the book the first time, and then the second and the third, any sense of quaintness dissolved. Here was no little manual about “you.” Here was a guide about how to live a life dedicated to service: animated by the love of God and the love of man. Only then did I learn the real origin of the title. Charlotte Mason was not merely gathering children around her to talk about “ourselves.” Rather, she was quoting a beautiful prayer from the communion service of her church. A prayer that is not so common these days but may still occasionally be heard. In a sense, it is a book about self-knowledge and self-direction. But not as an end in itself. The Apostle Paul urged us to offer our bodies as “living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God.” He said that this is our “spiritual act of worship.” I am so thankful for Miss Mason’s timeless volume. It shows us how to worship in this way. @artmiddlekauff
